Pokemon Growth Week is back for a third time inPokemon Sleep. As the name suggests, this is all about growing your Pokemon to be big and strong. Well, more to level them up. Which is basically the same thing.
The event starts on December 9 and runs for a week, ending on December 16. It prides itself on vowing to provide opportunities to raise the EXP of the Pokemon you have in your team for the week. So pick your team, eat some good food, and get ready to go night night with the Pokemon you want to see level up.
Pokemon Growth Week Event Information
From December 9 to December 16, you can participate in this event, and you can chooseany research sitethat is currently available to you.
Because this event ismore focused onleveling up your Pokemonand not feeding your Snorlax, the dish and berry types are not predetermined based on the event. While that means you can end up making any of the three recipe types,your berry type will be locked to what that location’s Snorlax likes.
The only research site thatdoesn’t lock which type of berriesSnorlax will request isGreengrass Isle. If you like the randomness of not knowing or want to have to build a unique team of Pokemon, you may want to stick to this location.
When it comes tothe bonuses you will enjoyduring the event, there are two:
The candies you are rewarded arefrom the Pokemonthat show up at your campsite. This bonus does not apply to candies you gain from the Research Community.Only your team of Helper Pokemon will get any extra EXPgenerated by the event. So be sure to pick a team of the Pokemonyou want to be stronger, no matter the reason.
Both of the sleep bonuses applyonly to your first research sessionof the day. This, unfortunately,dings players who like to take napsduring their day, but not those who only have their longer night’s sleep.
One thing missing from this event that is often given during the others is thatthere are no special missionsdesigned purely for this event. You’ll instead want toturn all of your focus onto the weekly missionsand their rewards.
Pokemon Growth Week Bundles
While previously there has only been one bundle available to buy during the Pokemon Growth Week Event, this time aroundthere are three. Their prices are alsolower than the bundles of most of the other events.
Pokemon Growth Bundle Vol. 3 L
If you burn the Growth Incense during the event, the benefits are stacked, giving your Pokemon even more EXP.
The S bundleis 250 diamonds, the M bundle is600 diamonds, and the L bundlecosts 1,500 diamonds. And diamonds are the currency that you canpurchase with real moneyvia the game’s microtransactions. As well as earn in the game, but it takes a while to build up that many. Cries in poor.
Event Advice And Tips
Naturally, you’ll want to pick a team of Pokemon that you want to level up. This can be for a variety of reasons, likewanting your Pokemon to gain higher RPso you can finally reach Master Rank in a new research site, or as simple aswanting your favorite Pokemon to be max level.
But don’t forgetthe candy bonus.Choose your locationbased on the type ofPokemon you will be encountering.
If you want to quicklylevel up your new Sneasel, you’ll want tostick to Snowdrop Tundraso you have a higher chance of seeing them.
If you wantmore candy for Mimikyu, then you should be laying your head downat the Old Gold Power Plant. And so on and so forth for every Pokemon that has your interest.
You could also use this time to level up any of the legendary dogs:Entei, Raikou, and Suicune. However, if you do like that idea,you’ll have a hard time doing the threeat once as their abilities are strongest when they arewith Pokemon of their own typing.
